Pope blesses eyes of local girl - RAW VIDEO

Pope Francis has blesses the eyes of a 5-year-old Lexington girl who suffers from a rare genetic disease that is gradually robbing her of her sight.

Lizzy Myers and her family had special seats for Francis' Wednesday general audience, and Francis spent several minutes with her at the end. He caressed her, hugged her, and placed his hands over her eyes. She gave him a meteorite chunk.
